A person originally identified by police of an as yet unknown age was found in an alley with a gunshot wound to the head in the 4500 block of West Jackson Boulevard around 3:40 a.m. Monday, according to the Tribune.

At least 15 other people were hurt in shootings citywide between Friday evening and early Monday in Chicago. According to CBS, no one is in custody in any of the weekend's shootings.

Homicides and nonfatal shootings thus far this year alike have soared when compared to the same period of time last year in Chicago. Responding to criticism over recent gun violence, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has defended the steps the city has taken to fight crime on his watch, including conducting gang audits and shifting some 600 police officers from desk duty to the streets.
